Plot Synopsis

BIG TIMBER is a one-hour reality series that follows the dangerous work of logger and sawmill owner Kevin Wenstob as he and his crew go to extremes to keep the family sawmill -- and their way of life -- alive. Kevin's logging a remote timber claim high up the steep, rugged slopes of Klitsa Mountain, deep in the majestic heart of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. It's home to some of the best wood in the world and Kevin's making a big bet to get it. His goal is to get 200 truckloads off before winter shuts him down, but the mountain won't give it up without a fight. With his wife Sarah, his son Erik, and his right-hand man Coleman by his side, Kevin will do whatever it takes to get that big timber! BIG TIMBER had its U.S. premiere on Friday, July 2, 2021, as Netflix released the entire 10-episode first season.
